Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a equus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a equus.
For everyone wanting to know what lazy equus means, it means the equus won’t have as much stam or speed as normal equus. It’s best to just kill them.
Always bring at least double the amount of carrots dododex says
I found a unicorn once so I picked it up with my argy and took it to my passive tame “trap” and since I’m on mobile I found out I can only use Griffen kibble to tame :/. Wish I could tame it
Tame one of these guys if you ave a lot of time on your hands never had one before but am still trying I keep forgetting to feed it so I get kicked off they run really fast so it hard for me to catch up so please don’t be like me feed it so you don’t get kicked off 😇
Use mejo or carrot, and build a pen
This is supposed to help others on mobile. To feed the horse “equip” the carrot while looking at it. To see that you are looking at it a little blue and black thing will pop up. Then once its fed get close and look at the left upper corner of the screen and ride. Once it starts bucking tap the carrot in the corner of your screen. (A little side note: Keep jumping until it runs out of stamina. It becomes easier to take and more likely to not run into a Rex or something.)
It lies about being a mobile chem bench it makes the same amount as a mortar and pestle so don't be fooled. It's a mobile mortar and pestle
These things are amazing for taming!!!
First they knock things out
Second they gather berries ( for taming and narcotics)
Third they can craft narcotics
And finally they can drag live or unconcous dinos. ; )
The Equus is so majestic, any wild dinosaur crossing your path will become instantly hypnotized as you ride into the sunset like Clint Eastwood. Also, you don't tame the Equus, the Equus tames you if you are worthy enough.
They arent a passive tame. They are whats called an active tame. You have to feed and perform actions such as mounting and feeding whilst mounted.
If you are on Xbox you need to go on the horse and press Y when it’s about to kick you off. It took me forever to fine this out😂
After losing three unicorns to raptors while I was taming or about to tame, I went with the super paranoid/cautious route. Build a basic ramp trap, aggro’ed it using a rare flower, and kited it into the trap. Left the area to give it a chance to calm down. First attempt was a no-go, didn’t even get the feeding prompt. Build another, larger pen (fence foundations, two levels of wood walls just in case) around the first one, broke down the first, and was good to go. Tamed it without the worry of raptor interference or it running somewhere it shouldn’t.
(Ark Mobile) I tamed it by going rodeo with it hahaha,This is how I do it
1. Sneak on it and when I close enough I dash and quickly ride it
2. Quickly feed it with rockarrot to soothe it before it's bucks you off
3. Don't spam feed,give one at the time,if you accidentally double tap two rockarrot it's will bucks you off (it's don't like force feed haha)
4. When it's hungry it's will try to bucks off you again,feed to calm it again
5. Pursuit ask you to collect 5 rockarrot only but I would recommend brought a lot as it's spoils fast and you might need to travel finding it
6. I found it on the way to the volcano on left side.They slightly near the volcano on green grass part
7. There was titanoboa, raptor, titanoboa, pusmonocus, baryonx when I was there so careful
P/s: I don't know if it's effective than other taming method but I have fun this way, I don't have to sneak on it all the time and chase it around towards predators,it's just goes back and forth ( I clutch to it for my dear life hahahaha xD) Good luck everyone if trying it xD
I know this is about the Equus but i tamed my unicorn without mounting it. Not sire hoe different they are but i had ghille suit and crouched the entire time behind it and kept feeding it carrots. Tamed in 4 carrots with a level 35
When tameing a equus unicorn stay on it and watch for the indcater at bottom of screen if in xbox when it goes up hold Y and just continue doing that til fully tamed
Kick does torpor. Good for traveling long distance. Make sure to level health weight and stamina. Have a pack of direwolfs follow u for protection is awesome. Nothing can touch you.
If you want a unicorn instead of shuving a carrot up it's ass put it on it's head
Here's how to tame an equus step 1. Find an eqqus step 2 sneak untill it stops step 3. Feed rockarrots at he right time do not feed early it will lose taming percentage step.4 reapeat that a few times (I recommend 33-48 rockarrots) step 5. Your done! If you want another one repeat the process.
On PS5 you cannot feed the equus when mounted for whatever reason, if you press triangle again you dismount it doesn’t let you feed or if you press L1+left on the d-pad you eat the carrot yourself and you don’t feed the carrot to the equus? I’ve had to go into creative mode and forcetame one to actually have one. Not sure if it’s a bug but just letting it be known.
An absolute pain to tame, have fun.
